Seventh Report of the Committee on Church Plate [Deaneries of Holsworthy and Torrington]

Trans. Devon. Assoc., vol.  48, (1916), illus. pp. 101-136.

Rev. J. F. Chanter, M.A., F.S.A.

Prepared by Michael Steer

The lavishly illustrated Report was presented at the Association’s July 1916 Plymouth meeting. During the report year the Rev. J. F. Chanter had visited and inspected the Church Plate in all the parishes of the Rural Deaneries of Holsworthy and Torrington. This completed the Committee’s work for the entire Archdeaconry of Barnstaple. Holsworthy Rural Deanery, consists of 21 parishes, two of which, Cookbury and Pancrasweek are chapelries. It is entirely rural, the only parish in it that is a town is Holsworthy. Many of the churches are situated in inaccessible and remote places. Torrington Rural Deanery, consisting of 23 ancient parishes, is the largest and most scattered deanery in the Archdeaconry, stretching from Alverdiscott in the north to Sheepwash in the south, and from Dolton in the east to Newton S. Petrock in the west; it is also the most difficult of access. With the exception of the town of Great Torrington it is entirely rural. Five Devonshire parishes, Broadwoodwiger, S. Giles in the Heath, and Virginstow on the eastern side of the Tamar, North Petherwyn and Werrington on the western side of the Tamar, now form part of the Rural Deanery of Trigg Major in the Diocese of Truro. There is also the parish of Boyton, a portion of which is in Devon. Since its plate has been shared with that of Tetcott and Luffincot in the Deanery of Holsworthy it was thought desirable by the Committee to include it in this report. The Report, from a copy of a rare and much sought-after journal can be downloaded from the Internet Archive. Google has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries. These books, on which copyright has expired, are available for free educational and research use, both as individual books and as full collections to aid researchers.
